Homeschooling in Wyoming

Homeschool rules in Wyoming, in plain English

If you homeschool in Wyoming, you must make sure your child gets a basic academic program in seven subjects: reading, writing, math, civics, history, literature, and science. Since July 1, 2025, you do not have to file a notice, send a curriculum to the school district, or give tests. If your child is currently in a public or private school, you must meet in person with a district counselor or administrator and give written consent to withdraw.

This explains each state's homeschool rules in plain English, from the state's own published sources. It isn't legal advice, and we aren't lawyers. Laws change and every family is different, so check with your state, your school district or a lawyer before you rely on it.

Option 1

Home-based educational program

Parents or guardians who teach their own children at home. Only one family may take part in the program. Instruction shared with more than one family is not a home-based program.

  1. Before your child stops attending schoolPaperwork

    Withdraw from school, if your child is enrolled

    Meet in person with a school district counselor or administrator. Give them written consent to withdraw your child. This applies to children under 18 who are not already enrolled in another district, private school, or home-based program.

  2. Before you start and throughout the yearWhat to teach

    Check the seven required subjects

    Your program must provide a sequentially progressive curriculum of basic instruction in reading, writing, mathematics, civics, history, literature, and science. You choose the materials and methods. The state does not approve curriculum.

  3. OngoingGood to know

    Make sure instruction is actually given

    You must ensure a curriculum that meets these subjects is administered to the child. The law no longer requires you to submit it to the local school board each year.

Option 2

Enroll in a public school virtual program

Families who want a school-run online or remote option. Your child is then a public school student and follows that program's rules.

  1. Before you enrollGood to know

    Choose a Virtual 307 program

    The Wyoming Department of Education lists statewide and district-level virtual programs. Some serve only students in one district. Others accept students from across the state, and many use Wyoming-certified teachers.

  2. Before the school year startsGood to know

    Enroll with the program

    Contact the program you pick to apply and ask about its enrollment steps. Programs differ in grades served and whether enrollment is full-time or part-time.

  • Writing
  • Mathematics
  • Civics
  • History
  • Literature

Tests and reviews

The state does not require testing or evaluation of homeschooled students. Homeschooled students may take the state assessment for free, though the notice deadline for that is unconfirmed (see unsure).

About time

The state sets no minimum number of school days or hours in the sources I read. Families choose their own schedule and pace.

Also good to know

  • Compulsory age starts when the child's seventh birthday falls on or before August 1. The cutoff is September 15 for a child who started kindergarten under an approved early-entry request.
  • Children are not required to attend school before age 7 or after age 16, or after completing 10th grade.
  • The curriculum must be sequentially progressive, but it does not have to include anything that conflicts with your religious beliefs, and it does not have to leave out anything consistent with them.
  • Homeschooled students may take part in activities sanctioned by the Wyoming High School Activities Association at their local public school, subject to the same rules and fees as enrolled students. Sports eligibility follows the association's rules.
  • Parents do not need a teaching degree or certificate, and the state does not require a parent qualification.

What we couldn’t confirm

  • Whether records must be kept and for how long. I found no state requirement in the official sources I read.
  • The notice deadline of November 1 for families who want to take the state assessment. This came from an older official page and needs checking on the Department of Education site.
  • Whether a family that never enrolled a child in school needs to give any notice. The 2025 law removed the annual curriculum submission, but I did not confirm the full current text of every related definition.
  • The exact legal steps for private, parochial, church, or religious schools. The statute mentions them, but I did not confirm the current rules for families who use this route.
  • Whether immunization records are required for homeschooled children.
  • The state education savings account and other funding programs. These are outside this guide because I did not confirm current details from official sources.
